Has it really been over a year?

Wassup, wassup, wassup!

Hello, all you beautiful people. It is I, Nakita the inconsistent blogger trying to make a comeback. Some of you may have wondered, why I stopped writing: in short, life happened and it just never seemed like the right time to come back. I'm back baby, I'm not waiting for a new season or even primetime. I'm back now, at 3:29AM EST on June  8th. 

The hiatus is up, i'm ready to rejoin my little slice of the internet.

U-P-D-A-T-E-S

Plenty more has gone on in a year, but that's the jist of it. More babies are in my life, wedding planning is in full bloom, I still have a shopping problem but I'm praying it lets up.Here's to my second attempt at this blogging thing, lets see where it takes me this time. Be blessed, and check back soon :)

Spring Haul + all the details :)

Hey y'all it's me again. I've been meaning to post, but had other plans for me. I won't lie, I've done quite a bit of shopping...BUT I have an excuse. For the past 8 years I've worked at a summer camp all summer and I don't really stock up on spring/summer wear because it doesn't matter what I look like. This year I will be in the city, and a girl gotta be fly ;) I've purchased some basics that I believe will last all summer, but there are still a couple pieces I need to pick up. As you guys know, I work retail so the hauls are real! This time around I've only purchased from Torrid & Boohoo plus. I will list the details of all of my faves thus far. Most of the items, if not all should still be available online/in store. Happy Hauling Homies!

So to start the destructed skinny jeans that changed my life! I purchased mine in a size 18. They have great stretch. True to size.

Torrid finally decided to carry a blue jays shirt, I got so excited I bought it right away. They don't carry it online, so your best bet is to go to your local torrid (Eaton's, Scarborough Town Centre, Vaughan Mills, Bramalea...) and cop you one ASAP. It retails for 48.90, and the sizing runs small, so size up if possible ladies!

This yellow dress gave me life! I have yet to wear it, but I fell in love and I do not regret my impulsive purchase. I purchased this in a size 2.

Boohoo has been creeping up there as one of my favourite retailers. The options are endless, and the price is definitely right honey! I'm still trying to master the sizing, but I'm certain the more I buy, the more my product knowledge will increase. Two items made the cut this haul, A T-shirt & a body suit. I ordered the T-shirt in a CAD 18, and the bodysuit in a CAD 20. The body suit is a little large in the torso, but I'm chesty so I'm okay with the extra fabric.

Can't find the link to the T-shirt, but they have a bunch a cute slogan Tee's. Check em out :)

The Maxi skirt that made me say "Ouuuuu". I purchased it on clearance! The deal was Buy 1. get 2 free. How could I leave ?

I searched page after page, and couldn't find links for some of my faves. Lucky for you, I have some pics:)

Last but not least. my eyewear game is going to RIDICULOUS. I can't stop buying shades :(

The Prettiest Things I've ever seen

Can't find links for the other two, but they are SHA-POPPIN'.

If you were wondering, I am a true size 18. When shopping I always buy that size, so if your body is comparable to mine maybe those sizes will work for you as well. At torrid I buy a 2-3 depending on the make/fabric. At boohoo I buy a CAD 18 or CAD 20.

Now go on and shop til you drop!

Music Mondays??

Hey!

Y'all I ain't even got time to explain my absence! I've been living through the tunes that I have on repeat in my Spring 17' playlist, and I decided to share the life with you :) You can definitely thank me later. What do you guys have on repeat? What's hot? What's not? Lemme know. Be blessed!

So of course wheelchair Jimmy made the cut! I'm a Torontonian, and beyond that a genuine fan. I won't sit here and lie and say I bump every track, but there are a couple I would say you gotta give a serious listen to.

1. No Long Talk ft Giggs (explicit) - This song just gets me hype from the first line.
2. Blem (explicit) - The beat, the fact that he has people saying blem in 2017?! Come on!
3. 4422 ft Sampha - I play this when I need to be mellow, and all the way in my feelings.
4. Portland ft Quavo & Travis Scott (explicit) - That beat though!
5. Teenage Fever (explicit) - That JLo sample man!!!
6. Ice Melts ft Young Thug (explicit) - Lemme tell you I don't even listen to young thug, but this might be my fave track on the album.

Listen mannnnnnnn. Y'all sleep on my boy Jidenna! Not only is he a black ginger (which was my dream man once upon a time), but he is SUPER dope. He raps/sings, and dare I say he does it better than Aubrey...I dare!

1. Long Live The Chief  (explicit) - My fave Jidenna song EVER. Super dope, lyrically and the beat BANGS.
2. Bambi - Feel good music that you can blast and not feel guilty about it
3. White N***** (explicit) - Bruhhhh you guys need to take in the lyrics man. It's too real.

I've been obsessed with D.R.A.M since I heard him on Chance's project. Darling, if you love me you'll take me to see this gem live.

1. 100% (explicit) - DOGGGGGG, I try to put everyone and their granny on this song. It's my fave, and I fall asleep to it :)
2. Cute (explicit) - I only like this song because my boyfriend put a screenshot from the video under one of my pictures on tumblr :P
3. Get It Myself (explicit) - A banger, trust me.
4. Password (explicit) - More good music, I promise.

Sometimes you  just gotta revisit the oldie, and jam out. I've been listening to this whole album for a month straight and I'm not over it yet. Don't sleep on how good day26 was.

I really want this to post before midnight, so instead of including visuals for the rest, I'm just going to list them in no particular order :) I hope you guys discover some new music, and share it with the world, and your stubborn significant others that don't take you too seriously when you make music suggestions. All I'm saying is your AUX cord is safe with me, because I bump a lil bit of everything.

1. Rock and Come In - Linky First
2. Tun Fo Meh -Olatunji
3. Who Am I to You - Tarrus Riley
4. Technically - Farmer Nappy & Destra

March Madness...

Disclaimer...this blog post ain't got a thing to do with the NCAA March Madness tournament, this month has just been on a MOD TING ( Word to Drizzy + all my fellow Torontonians :P)

The weather here has officially started warming up! The crazy Canadians are back at it again with their rolled denim, and short sleeves. It's been a whole week since I've seen snow with my own eyes. So yes, my friends spring has officially sprung. My mom went back to school this month, I'm a month into my promotion and I've never felt more fatigued. I would love to be able to list some amazing things I've done this month, but work occupies all of my memories of the month. My Goddaugther had her first dance recital, and I missed it :(. She looked absolutely amazing, and I am proud of her nonetheless. 

The fly gyals have been cookin' ;) As you may not know... HA! My friends and I have a youtube channel (subscribe to us : theflygyals). We have been brainstorming ways to be more consistent/committed. So stay tuned if you're a real one. Tell a friend, to tell a friend :) We appreciate the support thus far, and hope to continue from here. I need to give these 3 ladies a huge shoutout! I've been feeling extremely overwhelmed with life lately (and crowds), and there has been something extra sweet about their fellowship this month. I'm thankful for sisters that understand me, and laugh with me. Love y'all to the moon and back, and super grateful for your support in all areas of my life. Get you some real friends y'all they are truly irreplaceable.

I forgot the biggest news of the month... Ya girl got a weave!! And it's kinda purple!! I'm not typically a straight hair girl, but I thought why not try something new for the spring time. One time for snapchat, where would we all be without those filters?

I think I'm going to give some fashion related blogs a try, maybe next month I'll feature a couple #PSOOTD / #OOTD posts on my instagram, with outfit details posted here. Maybe I'll do some styling related blogs. Who knows! All I know is that warmer weather is going to have me shopping like a fool, and I ain't got nobody to share it with but y'all. Keep a look out, follow me on instagram : @fabulouslykita 

May the remainder of your March be ever blessed. May your bank account flourish once that tax refund hits. May your edges be laid like no other.
